Frequently asked questions

The app listens to your microphone and matches what you say to your script on-device — no internet required. It highlights the word you're speaking and scrolls the next line into view in under 300 ms, so the prompter always meets your pace instead of running on a timer.

Yes. Voice tracking runs entirely on your device, so it works with zero signal and nothing you say or record is uploaded to a server. It's a great fit for sensitive content, classrooms and anywhere without reliable Wi-Fi.

Voice scrolling works across a wide range of languages out of the box — record in the language you actually speak. The AI script writer can draft and translate your scripts too.

Absolutely. The script floats over the camera viewfinder so you can keep your eyes on the lens, record with the front or back camera, then save and share your videos — all in one place.

Teleprompter Pro is free to download with a 7-day free trial of Pro. You can explore the prompter, voice scrolling and recording, and only continue with a subscription if it earns a place in your workflow.

Teleprompter Pro is built for iPhone and iPad. Download it from the App Store and you're ready to record in minutes.

Tap the + button at the bottom right of the Scripts screen. You can write your own script, import from a file, or generate one using AI.

Tap the + button and select Import. You can import PDF, Word, TXT, RTF, CSV, and TSV files. The text content is extracted automatically and ready to edit.

Yes. Use Import to browse iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and other locations enabled in Files. Export Google Docs as Word or PDF first, and Google Sheets as CSV or TSV.

Open a script and tap the 'Start Prompter' button. The text will begin scrolling automatically. Swipe up or down to adjust speed, or tap to pause.

During playback, swipe up to speed up or swipe down to slow down. The speed adjusts in real-time.

Voice scrolling uses speech recognition to follow along with your script word by word. As you read aloud, the text scrolls to match your pace and pauses when you stop speaking. Enable it in Prompter Settings.

The Reading Line sets where voice scrolling tracks your reading progress on screen. Move it closer to the top to keep your gaze near the camera while recording. Adjust it in Prompter Settings when Voice Scroll is enabled.

In Prompter Settings, enable Voice Scroll to reveal the sensitivity slider. Higher values detect softer speech, lower values require louder speech.

Voice scrolling pauses during silence to let you catch up. If it stops unexpectedly, try increasing sensitivity or speaking closer to the microphone.

Open a script, tap 'Start Prompter', then tap the camera icon. Recording starts automatically. Tap pause to create segments, or stop to finish.

In Prompter Settings, select your preferred resolution under Video Quality: 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, or 4K Ultra HD. Higher quality produces larger files.

Yes! During recording, tap the pause button to create a segment. Tap resume to continue recording. All segments are automatically merged into a single video when you stop.

Recordings appear in the 'Recordings' tab at the bottom of the screen, and also in each script's detail view if recorded with that script.

Open a recording and tap the share button. You can save to your Photos library or share directly to other apps.

The floating prompter keeps your script scrolling in a small Picture-in-Picture window with its own play/pause control, so you can keep an eye on your lines while you use other parts of the app.

When a camera or live-streaming app takes over the foreground, iOS pauses the floating prompter — the window can turn black or stop scrolling. The floating prompter works best alongside apps that don't use the camera.

Most Bluetooth presentation remotes and page turners that act as a keyboard: Satechi R1 and R2, Logitech R400/R500/Spotlight, AirTurn (BT200, PED, Duo), PageFlip (Butterfly, Firefly) and generic Bluetooth page-turner clickers. Tip: set the remote to Presentation mode. 2.4 GHz USB-dongle remotes don't work on iOS.

1) Turn the remote on and put it in pairing mode. 2) In iOS Settings > Bluetooth, select it to pair. 3) Set it to Presentation (P) mode. Then open a script: a badge appears at the top when it's connected. External remote control is a Pro feature.

Right Arrow / Space / Enter: play-pause. Up Arrow or Page Up: speed up. Down Arrow or Page Down: slow down. Left Arrow: back to top. In recording mode, the main button starts and pauses the recording.

Yes. In recording mode the remote's main button starts the recording, then pauses it to prepare a new segment — scrolling follows automatically. The remote feature requires a Pro subscription.

Make sure it's in Presentation (P) mode, not Multimedia (M): in Multimedia mode the buttons send media commands that iOS routes to the current playback app (e.g. YouTube) instead of the teleprompter. Remotes that only send volume (cheap camera-shutter clickers) aren't supported. Also check the remote is paired in iOS Settings > Bluetooth and the feature is enabled in Settings > Remote control (Pro subscription required).

Tap the + button and select 'Folder'. Enter a name to create a new folder for organizing your scripts.

Open the script, tap the menu icon in the top right, then select 'Change Folder' to move it.

Tap + and select 'AI'. Enter a topic, choose the format and tone, then tap 'Generate'. Review and edit the result before saving.

Yes! After generation, you're taken to the editor where you can modify the script freely before saving.

Go to Settings > Prompter Settings > Appearance. Adjust the Text Size slider to make text larger or smaller.

Open Settings > Display > Mirror and pick the mode that matches your setup: • Off — reading directly on screen. • Horizontal — standard teleprompter mirror (most common). • Vertical — setups that flip the image top-to-bottom. • 180° — when the phone is mounted upside down (both axes flipped). Use this instead of physically rotating your device so the controls stay accessible.

Enable countdown in Settings > Prompter Settings. When you start the prompter, a countdown gives you time to prepare before scrolling begins.

Go to Settings > Restore Purchases. Your subscription is linked to your Apple Account, so make sure this device is signed in with the same Apple Account you used to subscribe. The Restore button on the subscription screen works too.

Yes. Your subscription works on every device signed in with the same Apple Account — you only pay once. On the new device, install the app, then tap Settings > Restore Purchases to unlock Pro.
